      Migration to Git
    </h3>
                        <h3>May 23d, 2014 - Apache Ant's family of projects migrates to git on https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf</h3>
                                <p>The Apache Ant family of projects migrates to git hosted by the Apache Software Foundation's infrastructure on
      https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf.</p>
                                <p>The source code of Apache Ant, Ivy, Ivyde, the Antlibs and EasyAnt
    Are all migrated to Git.
    We are keeping our web site in Subversion, as well as the sandbox.

      Apache Ant&#x2122;
    </h3>
                        <p>Apache Ant is a Java library and command-line tool whose
		mission is to drive processes described in build files as targets
		and extension points dependent upon each other.
		The main known usage of Ant is the build of Java applications.
		Ant supplies a number of built-in tasks allowing to compile, assemble,
		test and run Java applications.
		Ant can also be used effectively to build non Java applications, for
		instance C or C++ applications. More generally, Ant can be used to
		pilot any type of process which can be described in terms of targets
		and tasks.
    </p>
                                <p>
		Ant is written in Java. Users of Ant can develop their own
		"antlibs" containing Ant tasks and types, and are offered 
		a large number of ready-made commercial or open-source "antlibs".
    </p>
                                <p>
		Ant is extremely flexible and does not impose coding conventions or
		directory layouts to the Java projects which adopt it as a build tool.
	</p>
                                <p>
		Software development projects looking for a solution combining build tool and
		dependency management can use Ant in combination with <a href="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/">Apache Ivy</a>.
</p>
                                <p>The Apache Ant project is part of
          the <a href="http://www.apache.org/">Apache Software
          Foundation</a>.</p>

      Apache Ant 1.9.4
    </h3>
                        <h3>May 5, 2014 - Apache Ant 1.9.4 Released</h3>
                                <p>Apache Ant 1.9.4 is now available for download as source or
      binary from
      <a href="http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi">http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi</a>.</p>
                                <p>Ant 1.9.4 contains several bug fixes and improvements compared to Ant 1.9.3,
      including the initial support for Java 1.9,
      the possibility to run JUnit tests in multiple threads (when they are forked)
      and the refactoring of Ant's own test suite which is now based on JUnit 4.</p>

      Apache IvyDE 2.2.0
    </h3>
                        <h3>November 22, 2013 - Apache IvyDE 2.2.0 Released</h3>
                                <p>The Apache IvyDE project is pleased to announce its 2.2.0 release.</p>
                                <p>The Apache IvyDE Eclipse plugin integrates Apache Ivy's dependency management 
      into Eclipse. It lets you manage your dependencies declared in an ivy.xml in 
      your Java Eclipse projects, or any other kind of project which needs dependency 
      management. Apache IvyDE will contribute to the classpath of your Java project 
      or you can make it retrieve your dependencies directly into your project. Last 
      but not least Apache IvyDE offer editors of ivy.xml and ivysettings.xml files 
      with completion. Get some preview here: 
      <a href="http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ivyde/screenshots.html">http://ant.apache.org/ivy/ivyde/screenshots.html</a>
    </p>
                                <h4>Major changes in this release</h4>
                                <p><ul>
      <li>The API of IvyDE has been stabilized so that third party plugins can rely on it,</li>
      <li>while still not complete, and still not advertised as stable in Ivy, support of OSGi has been added,</li>
      <li>javadoc and source attachement can be edited now one by one,</li>
